  • 5' With 3 assists to his name this season, Ronan Curtis is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Portsmouth FC.

  • 26' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 31' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Elliot Lee suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Lee Brown on 37 minutes.
  • 42' The home supporters are growing impatient. Portsmouth FC must find a spark to ignite this game.

  • 78' Andrew Shinnie has so much to prove this time. He replaces Harry Cornick on 78 minute.
  • 83' Jake Jervis, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 87' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ronan Curtis on 87.
  • 87' Another change for Luton Town FC made on 87 minute. Alan McCormack leaves to be changed by Jake Jervis.
